( laughter and applause ) "it's raining chiclets in here!" >> jon: ( laughs ) ( piano riff ) >> stephen: but john delaney didn't buy bernie's healthcare numbers. >> his math is wrong. that's all i'm saying, that his math is wrong.ceroans ) >> jon: oh man, come on. >> stephen: now... oh, really? whole lot of delaney fans here tonight. they're an endangered species! by the end of the first round of questioning, it was clear who was taking the lead in the most important contest in america right now-- hannah b. was going with jed over tyler. even though jed only cares about promoting his music career, hannah! i may have briefly switched over to the bachelorette, mid-debate. ( laughter and applause ) ( piano riff ) and on the subject of healthcare, john delaney tried to speak to his experience-- on the trail. >> i've been going around rural am

despises capitalism i wish there was a visual metaphor for bernie's argument. i just have to keep watching i don't know why just to bring everyone up to speed what bernie meant is near enough food see years ago about 9 out of every 10 people in china lived in poverty 9 out of 10 today 2019 it's one in 100 people one person in every 100 that's below the poverty line is that astounding yes that is great news for a 1000000000 people yeah but it's china if we lived in a fair world that send them a congratulation note and flowers. china does something bad to raise hell about it does something good very well ignore it. russia forget brought here if they want to join us are knocking out isis that is just fine as far as i'm concerned worked together to beat a monstrous group that's killed untold thousands and soon terror world. wide work together not a few are god fearing american donald trump believes that russia is our great ally against isis in syria but what russia is doing in syria is setting up missiles that only shoot down planes which isis does not have i think

while some candidates obviously had big fan bases, others got more muted reactions >> senator berniecheers and applause senator elizabeth warren [ cheers and applause mayor pete buttigieg [ cheers and applause former congressman john delaney. [ cheers and applause >> seth: oh, man, what a bummer for that guy to have to follow warren, buttigieg, and bernie. [ light laughter ] it's like if springsteen, bono, and the rolling stones all opened a concert and then they were followed by a weezer cover band [ laughter ] "hey, how you guys doing tonight? hey, one more time for mick jagger. [ light laughter ] cnn spent what seemed like an eternity going through the rigmarole of all the intros, the colorguard, the national anthem. and then, after all that, elizabeth warren returned the opening kickoff for a 99-yard touchdown. [ laughter ] and then there was still more, because they also had opening statements we didn't even get to our first question until about 25 minutes in you could have just watched an entire episode of "veep. [ light laughter ] in fact, i'm pretty sure anyone on "veep" woul

wax bernie! bernie! >> are you going to eat anything, bernie? >> will you drink [inaudible] >> watch it, watch it, watch it. >> how are you doing? >> how are you? thank you. >> on the campaign trail, an afternoon with senator bernie sanders, his wife, jane, at the iowa city fair. coming up, new york city mayor bill de blasio, who will be the final speaker on the state their soapbox. all of ourch coverage at c-span.org. >> who has been here all day long? ok, so what do i want from you? des moines register soapbox was the correct answer. i am the political editor, and how this goes. please welcome mayor bill de blasio. mr. de blasio: thank you, rachel. hey, everybody, how's it going? do you want the truth from politicians? do you want the whole truth? then i'm going to make a confession right here. i love the iowa state fair. i am in love with it. my third time. it's amazing. and the people of iowa have been so kind and so welcoming. about someone you i love and i want to introduce her to you. of 25 years,e .harlene mcrae firstnt to tell you, as l

comprehensive guide they joined me in studio welcome guys thanks for having me so let's talk about this bernie sanders bad to begin with he wants to reform journal if you guys read it i did a little bit longer than your book it is infinitely longer than my book but i did read it and as is often the case with bernie i actually think he frequently identifies the real problems identifies correct problems decreasing wages problems with immigration problems with in this case big tech coming in and clamping down on journalism i am all for taking down big tech i am all for breaking them up and reducing their power their interest they control the flow of information around the internet obviously conservatives talk about this a lot because there have been high profile incidents where conservatives have been targeted some of my own videos have been taken down on various platforms. and i think that this affects the left as well and i think it affects everyone in the middle nobody wants a few companies to control the flow of information where i disagree with bernie is on his solution which is to give the

look, bernie says washington is corrupt. he says both parties are in on it, both parties they get in bed with big business and special interests and lobbyists, and they benefit the rich and powerful at the expense of the working men and women in this country. you know what, bernie's absolutely right. that is what's happening. the only place i disagree with bernie is on the solution. if washington is corrupt, why on earth would you want to give washington more power? defend liberty is powerful, and by the way, if you care about social justice, the left likes to talk about how wonderfully they care. listen, i care deeply about social justice. the greatest enemy poverty has ever seen in the history of the universe has been the american free enterprise system. you want to lift people out of poverty? you don't take over the economy. you don't put the government in charge of the economy. instead, you unchain and you unleash free men and women to start businesses to pursue their dreams, their passion, and no society has lifted more

but out bernie. this is infuriating the government has no role zero, zilch no role in journalism and in speech and in ideas but both bernie in the last and on the right as well have consistently been attacking the free press not just one institution or one pure radical or reporter for the institution at large and that's what paving the way for these calls are more government regulation or institution into what could be more sacred than a first amendment our free press. but out, bernie. >> can we get an amen out in here? i agree with you jonathan. the funny thing is i feel like we have not had a freer press than we do now in the fact that everyone has a voice whether publishing your own blog on the internet or going onto a big, bad corporate sites like facebook or twitter and to have your own voice and put it out there. we've not had that before. unless you are a journalist or knew somebody who would publish you cannot get your voice into the mix so i would argue that the problem is not that we don't

on this, where the heck is bernie about this? he is focusing on to help poverty and look at what they have done and they've done more than anybody else. >> you know what, we are in violent agreement on china. >> laura: bernie, bernie is like the roads are nice there, but come on. stay right there, judge jeanine and chris. time for my ankle part 2 a ocs climate change. >> i have some bad news for you, aoc has insomnia. and she thinks this one thing should keep you up as well so. >> you know mom is on vacation, i woke up in the middle of the night at 3:30 in the morning just concerned about climate change. >> laura: i have a question, does that boxed mac and cheese that she was making come with a tinfoil hat? like bernie with his comments about the chinese, aoc's late night musing the true agenda of the climate change crew. >> this is not about just putting over people's roads but changing the consumption. this is about living our whole life in a way that is more sustainable and inhumane. we are not trying to into cows and plane tr

is bernie sanders' plan, there are other medical plans. host: politico had a piece on where the candidates stood on health care. at the time they had 23 candidates, but it has been winnowed down somewhat. all of them are for the expansion of the aca, expanding the affordable care act coverage. ippolito, -- ben where do you see potential stumbling blocks? is it the cost? guest: their first point that mara brought up is exactly the right point. what might the stumbling blocks be? at least at a high level, it pulls quite well amongst the democratic electorate however, one of the things that becomes quite clear is that once you start talking about -- and there trade-offs, taxes per support really dwindled. what you see is that the majority of democrats certainly support medicare for all at a high level. however, that flips once you start talking about, what if you have to raise taxes? that is a long way of saying the plans that do less of those increases, less disruption to your own health insurance, are going to have higher traction, more tra

bernie sanders doesn't give up.ally endorsing hillary and appear with her. >> the hillary people are still wonder when he's going to endorse. there's bitterness there. >> he acted as though he was competing on the stage rather than embracing her. >> ditto with the convention. >> bernie sanders is going to stay until the end because he's going to have money to stay till the end. >> i had one of the campaigns not named sanders or warren say we're not talking them till it looks like one of them catch fire by themselves because at this point, they cancel each other out. there's not enough, unless one drops out, there's not enough and they would rather focus on the other part. is that smart. >> yeah, the two of them at some point there's a theory maybe the two of them will self-destruct and both going against each other and cancel each other out. what i think is interesting is that elizabeth warren is bringing this whole coalition together that is slightly different from the sanders coalition of 2016, african-americans,

guess why don't begrudge anybody for liking bernie sanders. it's another option but i think it's wrong to say we are misrepresenting some of the challenges. there are practical issues that those kind of plans have. if bernie sanders in his campaign want to propose for example way a way to raise the money that they would need to do that plan i would loveld to see that generally but they can't do that so it's hard for me to sit here and say i support a plan that costs $17 trillion over 10 years. >> host: one more call evelyn, good morning. >> caller: good morning. thanks for taking my call. i just wanted to say that i have great insurance. i have medicare and i have tried care for life. i had a heart attack in december and i have had two heart attacks actually. i got my same cardiologist that i had 10 years ago. i had excellent care. i didn't haveha to pay anything. everything was paid for me by medicare and tri-care for life. a month later i had a g.i. bleed. i'm almost 93. i will be 93 next month but i had a g.i. bleed and i had to go back in

mark is getting wise to the bernie con job. he is sinking like a stone and voters begin to realize his dumb ideas will bankrupt the country. is the free stuff carnival coming to a standstill? a brand-new monmouth university poll shows a vermont senator has dropped from second to fourth place among voters in just the last few months. from 16 to nine percent, joe biden, still on top. liz worn in kamala harris, they are creeping up. that's an interesting threesome. why is bernie fading so quickly? it could have something to do with simple math. he is promising medicare for all, free college and the green new deal. all of that stuff is very expensive. and bernie said repeatedly he will have to jack up your taxes to pay for it. but if you have even a little bit of money iowa voters, they don't like the sticker shock but he's not the only one fading fast. beto, no! he will from six percent down to one percent. the former golden boy is tarnished for taking his place, mayor pete, my boy from the seems to be benefiting most from the fal

kamala opened an a avenue for bernie, his aide tweeted: >> bernie's woolen mittens are coming off.r, that is the memo. >> kamala harris is aiming for middle ground. between joe biden and bernie sanders, how would her diet medicare really work for all? here to discuss, foremost insurance expert in the world, peter suderman. what do you make of kamala backtrack? >> i don't know what to make of it, i'm not sure that kamala knows what to make of it. does anyone know her plan at-this-point? she had so many flip flops on this issue, like she is packing for a beach vacation. whole thing with kamala harris, she is playing a -- trying to craft a policy, to solve an entirely political problem. she wants to do is a, i support medicare for all. then not have to defended any of the unpopular parts of that. that include higher taxes, and eliminating higher tax insurance, she does not top talk about that, she tried to craft a plan that said we have some role for private insurers but that is so heavily regulated, it is more regulated than medicare plan. we want eliminate private insurance but they

look, bernie says washington is corrupt. he says both parties are in on it, both parties they get in bed with big business and special interests and lobbyists, and they benefit the rich and powerful at the expense of the working men and women in this country. you know what, bernie's absolutely right. that is what's happening. the only place i disagree with bernie is on the solution. if washington is corrupt, why on earth would you want to give washington more power? defend liberty is powerful, and by the way, if you care about social justice, the left likes to talk about how wonderfully they care. listen, i care deeply about social justice. the greatest enemy poverty has ever seen in the history of the universe has been the american free enterprise system. you want to lift people out of poverty? you don't take over the economy. you don't put the government in charge of the economy. instead, you unchain and you unleash free men and women to start businesses to pursue their dreams, their passion, and no society has lifted more

that he has set of solutions and also i think it's savvy because you know whether you're a natural bernie sanders supporter or a hard core maga head you have issues with the media and you should have issues with the media because the media has a lot of issues so let's get into some of the details i was really surprised to hear you just say that you're actually in favor of breaking up these big companies i assume you're talking about facebook google i'm talking about big tech generally ok roles so much of the flow of information and i think they're playing unfairly they want to have their cake and eat it too we've seen this senator cruz has brought this up a lot the distinction between being a tech platform and a publisher of content which curates the content won't let certain people publish certain things and there are certain legal protections if you're only going to be a tech platform and you're there certain liabilities if you're to be a publisher like any of us big tech wants to have their cake and eat it too they should not be allowed to do that they are gaming the system and we need

the middle nobody wants a few companies to control the flow of information where i disagree with bernie is on his solution which is to give the government more taxing power to go in take money from these companies and then give it to some government sponsored news organizations i don't want the government to control my news or back news organizations any more than i want big tech to have control over it john let's get your overview of the bernie sanders up at and then we'll get into some of the points you just say so i think for anyone who hasn't seen it hasn't read it yet he does identify big tax and he talks about facebook he talks about google and i'm not comfortable at all with companies having that much influence economic influence over creators the ability to determine whether or not they can pay their rent but also just access to the news in the 1st place at this point whether you're on the left or the right or wherever you pretty much have to use these platforms and that's not necessarily best for american journalism but he also identifies large corporations and wealthy individu

>> bernie sanders is such a farce.comes on and says make a strong statement for democracy and human rights and this is not. we heard nothing about the concentration camps. would bernie sanders recognize taiwan as a country? this is so much he failed to address that china represents. he shot down the threat question as well. why aren't we hearing his position on china's stated purpose of nuclear and trade power on the arctic circle council. in 2017 their president said china will be a global power and they want to improve their compat capability. he said we will never swallow this bitter fruit of down grading our interests for the purpose of someone else's benefit. for bernie sanders to say they are not a threat to us or won't put themselves first and ignore all of the other human rights violation is a joke to me. >> we pounded that segment into the ground. another russian bombshell opens up in the media's face. back tracking about the latest claims about president trump. >> ♪ chair is just a chair. that a handle is jus

to credit bernie, he's made this about ideas. and those ideas have captured the democratic party, which will hurt them in the general election, but this should be about ideas. there's a level roff personal y personality. are you strong r capable, able? that's what joe biden is being tested on now. but this messy process we have, dana, it works. it's played out on tv so we can see what the candidates are like. >> dana: they're telling me i gotta go, but i could talk to you all day. talk to you soon. socialist proposals from the likes of 2020 candidates, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, kamala harris drawing scrutiny. plus the investigation into the death of jeffrey epstein focusing on an island in the caribbean and security lapses at the facility where he was held. >> i want a full investigation. that's what i absolutely am demanding. that's what our attorney general, our great attorney general, is doing. he's doing a full investigation. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because,

he has endorsed bernie sanander. in sacramento, california, we are joined by renowned civil rights activist dolores horta. she is the cofounder of the united card from -- farm workers of america. she is cochair for kamala harris is presidential campaign along with barbara lee. we welcome you both to democracy now! we have an interesting hour, playing a highlight from the debate in getting your response. dolores huerta, your thoughts on the debate over the last two nights, the second of the series, as 20 democratic presidential hopefuls spar to become the president of the united states? dolores: well, i just had to say, as a woman of color, to me, it is gratifying to see some of these subjects such as racism, the police issues, are finally being debated. these are issues that we have had in our country for 100 years but nobody ever spoke to them or about them. to see that they are now a priority in terms of the debates, conversations taking place right now, i think that is important because we are not going to be able

>> i supposed that bernie sanders could work doing that.o many laws, then let's reduce the number of law that is we have on the books. not say we are going to change how we treat you if you break a law, either it's illegal and has to be treated as such or it doesn't and his plan right now it's going to lead to more lawlessness and not more rule of law. >> max, in 15 seconds we have remaining, you're a democratic strategist, you have been studying what's going on around the country, there's appetite for criminal justice reform, but in your research, is there an appetite for this bernie plan? >> i think it's gotten mixed reviews, partly because you're proposing federal solutions to things that are governed by counties and by states and there's just no practical way to -- to compel counties and localities to endorse and pass these things, that's been the challenge of criminal justice reform for years and if we think we can just wave our hand and make different counties along the country to go was, that underestimates the real challenge that is

, i mean, that isn't something american presidents can do and since when do they -- it's not what bernieders would do let's be honest? >> right, i think joe biden has actually proposed imposing tariffs on businesses and just like donald trump that try to import goods from china to the u.s., the issue is no, you cannot order them to. there's no way to force businesses, some of them tried to relocate already to vietnam, malaysia, mÉxico, proving a lot more difficult than they imagined because as bill pointed out the supply chain, the local partnerships, highly or highly-skilled workforce in china makes difficult to replicate in any other country. >> in the president's defense, he was ordering them to look into this possibility and i think -- [laughter] >> fair argument that very few multinational companies had not been looking this since he started this spat. paul: well, i think the president has a point when he says somebody needs to take on china against the predatory practices, stealing of ip, cyber theft, so much, the thing is i wonder if he has underestimated the economic harm from th

. >> shannon: presidential hopeful bernie sandal starting to sound a little bit like president trump when it comes to mainstream media coverage. >> anyone here know how much amazon [indistinct] i talk about all the time. and they wondered why "the washington post" which is owned by jeff bezos who owns amazon. >> shannon: tonight the sanders campaign is doubling down, launching its own newsletter called burn notice. today's edition with a fire ant against so-called corporate media. let's turn to steve hilton. great to have you with us. what do you make of this? it's funny because president trump talks a lot about how he gets mistreated by the mainstream media now you have bernie sanders making some of the same accusations but saying it's because media outlets are run by billionaires and corporations. they are never going to treat him fairly because he criticizes them. >> it's uncanny, especially "the washington post." how many times have we seen tweets from the president about jeff bezos, amazon, "washington post" ." i think bernie gets pretty good press coverage frankly, especially c

so bernie kerik, what is bernie sanders doing to the likes of cardi b? with all of her effusive talent? >> i don't know. maybe that is one of those primary advisors at this point but one, she is pending criminal charges in queens. i think, you know, you cannot be out there doing what she is doing. also, laura, i have to tell you i talked to people in the nypd today and they had no idea what she was talking about. i think bernie sanders might want to move in a different direction. >> laura: the two of them together and i told tmz, it is perfect, perfect, bernie. thank you so much. coming up, the angle last night show how joe biden is reallyfe just hillary 2.0 to strike a nerve with other 2020 democratic candidates. we will show you what biden's opponents are now saying. and we will debate next. >> you have got to look at who will win the election. maybe you have to swallow a little bit. >> whom you agree on 85% of the issues, but the question is, she was making the case you should pick the person you think will win because little issues matter if donald t

elizabeth warren, bernie sanders bernie sanders on night one and joe biden and kamala harris on nightke a look. >> i think if we force americans to make radical changes, show your hands up. i think democrats when we run on real solutions and not impossible promises, we run on thinks that are workable and fair tale economics. >> i don't know why somebody runs as president of the united states to talk about what we can't do. >> plan is too late, we have to get off coal in 10 years, your plan does not do that. >> senator harris is proud of her record as prosecutor and she'll be a prosecutor but i'm concerned about the record, too many examples to fight, but she put over 1500 people in jail for marijuana violations and laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana. paul: managing director and chairman of the harris poll, he was chief strategist on bill clinton's 1996 presidential campaign and hillary clinton's 2008 presidential campaign, mark, welcome, let me ask you first about joe biden who is the main target and front runner, did he hold up in. >> he did, i think he'

do you want to dive into bernie sanders's plan? guest: he put meat on the bones of the green new deal. at this point the green new deal has been an action plan, a mission statement. he actually decided i will put some meat on the bones. he's talking about 16 point $3 trillion of spending over 15 half carbonng in emissions by 2030 and eliminating them a couple of years after that. talking about getting zero emissions from transportation, from power, from everything. talking about reducing military spending. making fossil fuel companies pay more. eliminating subsidies. there is some stock in trade that this is bernie sanders type platform. he has always been railing against corporate interests and always try to make the fossil fuel companies pay for what they have done to the climate. here we have some paper. it is something that will raise the bar for a lot of candidates. people have been waiting for this climate plan from bernie sanders? they thought it was interesting he has not come out with one. here it is. host: usa today at wi

when the bernie sanders throng shot a republican congressman we didn't blame bernie sanders for incitingt violence. >> [overlapping talking]. >> i didn't do and i didn't do it. >> let's have a quick break. >> it will get worse, everybody. >> [laughing]. >> we have egregious attacks in the media. stay with us. every day, visionaries are creating the future. so, every day, we put our latest technology and unrivaled network to work. the united states postal service makes more e-commerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. e-commerce deliveries to homes here, hello! starts with -hi!mple... how can i help? a data plan for everyone. everyone? everyone. let's send to everyone!
